I notice that most guys who lift heavy and use proper form still cheat and inflate their lift numbers...what I mean by this is that most guys in the gym use no tempo at all and use momentum to lift the weight....this might be ok if all you care about is moving the weight from point A to point B (Strong man) but its not "Real" strength just because you can lift the weight. The body doesnt know Point A to Point B it knows muscle recruitment...really makes me mad when I see a guy throw 315lbs on the bar and free fall into his squat with no pause at the bottom and then pop up using mostly momentum! just because you went ass to grass does not mean your actually lifting the weight! I use 3-4 seconds down/pause 1 second a bottom/fire up.

Im more impressed when I see a guy squat 225 ass to grass with a 4 second tempo and a pause at the bottom then someone throws on 400lbs on the bar, drop into the bottom like they are free falling and fire back up.
